Thanks. I found that.  I also found that you can specify other places, so 
I decided to use /usr/local/share/eclipse for plugins that aren't 
installed via RPM.

My question was really more along the lines of:

The Subclipse plugin instructions say you don't need to download anything, 
just do the install in Eclipse.  But if I do that as a normal user, how 
can I install in a location owned by root and not world writable?  Would I 
get prompted for a password or something?

I worked around the issue by starting Eclipse as root and doing the 
install there.  It appears to load fine as a normal user, but I haven't 
tested it yet.  The only odd thing was, when I created the directory in 
the GNOME file browser it got permissions of 754, and I had to fix that by 
hand.
